The race will cover 314 miles from the banks of the Mississippi in Missouri, across the mighty river by ferry into Kentucky for 14 miles, before continuing on into Tennessee for approximately 290 miles, and then dipping into Alabama briefly before finishing in Georgia. An epic event that will bring this historic race up close and personal to so many new runners.

The Vol State 500K happened 3 years ago. We've had several inquiries wanting to bring it back for 2019 or 2020. Would there be interesting in people putting 3-4 person teams together again to compete in this event? It's based on the solo Vol State 500K and was hosted by Joshua Holmes with Lazarus Lake's assistance last time. Let us know if you'd be interested. - thanks.

The 2016 Vol State 500K Relay has been cancelled. We hate to come to this decision but it's the right decision. Maybe if there is greater interest next year it will return.
